A West Virginia man shot and killed his new neighbor and the man’s brother without warning as the two inspected their land.

The shooter told police he thought his alleged victims were breaking into a building he mistakenly thought he owned, and police are baffled as to why he chose such a drastic measure to preserve something of no value to him.

The Cabell County Sheriff’s Department charged Rodney Bruce Black, 62, of Barboursville, with two counts of first degree murder after he killed Garrick Hopkins, 60, of Milton and his brother, Carl Hopkins Jr., 61, of Oak Hill, at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Sherriff Tom McComas told the Daily News on Monday.

The two victims are black and the shooter is white but McComas said there is no indication race was a factor in the the suspect’s motive.

BULLSH%$T there is no indication race was a factor. People are still going around shooting people as if there is no penalty. So glad “some” of the laws have changed and there are now consequences for ignorant and selfish actions. Guilty… Death penalty!!

Why the fk every time a white person kills a black its not racially motivated yes it is , how many white shoot and kill there own kind for looking at property . Racism should be a law (life in prison or death) this bull .
